The DangerBird is not side specific, you can lay head left-feet right or head right-feet left. It is not like the WBBB.
I never tried the DangerBird with a sock. I didn't feel the need with the DangerBird's cover.

Well, yes and no.
In netless mode, you can lay left or right. If you use the side tie-outs, they will self adjust to the way you're laying.
The net and overcover are built for either right lay or left lay. For leftys, we just flip the net and cover over before sewing on the zippers.

Building a left lay is no problem at all, but I do need to know ahead of time.

I went backpacking two weekends ago with my Dangerbird. I had a 30° underquilt and a 40° top quilt. I didn't have a thermometer, but there was frost, so the nighttime temperature definitely got below freezing. Since I only had a 40° top quilt, I zipped up the overcover and was toasty warm all night. No frost on the inside either.

In my opinion, if you have a Dangerbird, you don't need an additional winter sock: the overcover does the same thing.

Thanks for the feedback. I like the idea of the undercover. My PLUQ with an added sheet of InsulBright gets me to 32* with minimal dressing. So i think the UC will get me the additional comfort for most occassion I will be camping with the scouts here in VA. I'll bring an additional fleece sleeping bag for the real cold trips. I use a 20* bag as a TQ.
